It's hard to believe that it's already been two weeks since the start of the new year. The kids are getting back into the swing of school. Tonight we had our first Family Counsel in a few weeks. When we talked about our coming turn to help clean the church more than one child said "Yay!" Our kids have developed a love of service. It made Heidi and I smile.
After dinner, Grammie and Grandpa Mangum visited via Skype. It was fun to see the kids all try to cram together to fit into the view of the camera.
This evening the Primary recognized the children who memorized the 12 Articles of Faith. Rebecca, Sarah, and TJ all accomplished this feat. Then they did something even better. They all decided to share the treat they had worked so hard to earn with their siblings. I'd love to say that they were all happy with the gift they were given. David and Joseph were happy and I'm sure said so. Peter decided to cry that there was not more to be had. Still, I am proud that the kids decided to share. I think that treats taste better when you share them.
This post illustrates David's song that ends with the words "we are a happy family "
